Distance Teaching and Learning during the pandemic: between Illusion and Reality - a Case Study of French Department Students at Larbi Ben M'hidi University, Oum El Bouaghi

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a new way of life, leading to a sudden alteration of norms and habits that had persisted for centuries. Indeed, the health crisis has given rise to previously unknown behaviors.
